The docs are pretty messy. All I want to do is generate an xlsx file and then give the user the option to download the new file to their computer.

I am using angular. I already can generate the file. I need help with the downloading part.

XLSX.writeFile(wb, filename, write_opts) attempts to write wb to filename. In browser-based environments, it will attempt to force a client-side download.

The angular demo has an example of generating a file and triggering a download: https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/blob/master/demos/angular/SheetJS-angular.js#L18
